IMPROVEMENT lN BRACKETS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent gig- 220,73 0; dated October 21, 1879 application filed April 9, 1879.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES J. READ, of Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Brackets or Suspension-Hooks, for the purpose of suspending or hanging harnesses thereon and keeping the same in good order; I also declare that the following is a clear and exact description, which will enable any one skilled in the care of harness to understand the same fully.

The object of my invention is to provide a suspension hook which, by being fastenedto the partition of the building, will hold the harness and keep it in good order,

as well as inste the warping of the harness and gettin-gout of shape, as it will when suspended on common hooks. v

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a perspective View of the invention, and Fig. 2 a direct front View of the same.

To illustrate more fully, I will refer to the letters of reference, namely: Arepresents the bed-plate of the casting; B, the projection for the purpose of holding the bridle and reins; O G, the projections over which the breast-plate is hung, resting at the same time over the upper part of theprojection B; D, the projection for the-purpose of holding the saddle and martingale; E, the projection on which to place an extra bit or other piece belonging to the harness, and a a, the holes for the screws by which the bracket is fastened to the partition of the building.

Any one can readily see, I think, the usefulness of my invention, without further explanation on my part.

What I claim as my invention is-- An article of the form described, consisting of the projections B G O D E, and the bedplate A, forming a bracket, substantially as described, and for the purpose specified.

JAMES J. READ.
